Publisher's Summary

When convicted killer and certified psychopath Richard Heinz escapes from a secure mental hospital, his re-capture falls on the shoulders of MCU agents Dr. Jessica Bennett and Howard Hopkins. Entering a dark wood on a rainy night, they must try to understand and anticipate the mind of the sick killer before it's too late.

I love any story that looks at the mentally ill, especially serial killers. Iain Rob Wright made the story creepy, disturbing, and interesting. I'm really looking forward to the next part.

Who was your favorite character and why?

My favorite character in Slasher was Richard Heinz, for the reasons listed above.

Which character – as performed by Chris Barnes – was your favorite?

Howard, as performed by Chris Barnes was my favorite. Barnes did an excellent job of giving the character a wide array of emotions and nailed the British accent the character needed.

If you could take any character from Slasher: The Escape of Richard Heinz out to dinner, who would it be and why?

I would absolutely take Richard Heinz out to dinner if given the opportunity. He is a fascinating character and just listening to him speak about his warped perceptions would be very interesting.

Any additional comments?

This is a short book, only about an hour and a half long. Chris Barnes's narration adds a new level of excitement and intensity to the story, and the Wright/Barnes team is one I can't get enough of. It helps if you have read Wright's 'The Picture Frame' since this is a continuation of that story, but 'Slasher' stands well on its own. Slasher is perfect for those who don't like their books too scary and it will keep you on the edge of your seat.
